I used to be top heavy but now I’m bottom heavy! This is in part due to plastics but some is definitely just the way my body decided to redistribute fat because it started before plastics. -
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels like this shifts the blame back to the patient’s lack of commitment to exercise!

I should have said immediately after losing a lot of excess weight vs when your weight settles. I think immediately post WLS my skin was thinner (in certain areas) but over time it feels thicker again. -

Something I didn’t expect were the changes to body composition post op (not the planned body modifications of plastic surgery) I was surprised to see that my body didn’t look the same each year post op. How and where I carried weight fluctuated each year. -

My kid made a large batch of Turkey burgers and I’m the only one eating them 🧐 At least they’re good! I ate about 70% of this but logged the whole meal -
In the past battles against obesity, patients often heard the advice to simply increase exercise. Now researchers are actually quantifying the amount of exercise needed to prevent (and possibly reverse) the disease according to genetic risk factors. Thoughts?

Have you spoken with your surgeon about this yet? What did they say? -

Add brown sugar to your tomato sauce to make the overall flavor even richer.

Today I went on a date to a tea shop and found an amazing quengzhou milk oolong. Very very happy. I decided to make lunch at home instead of dining out (I really wanted to make this tea 😂) Penne Arrabbiata (not mine) and vegetable gyoza w/dipping sauce (mine) -

Congratulations! -
One year milestone… ready for plastics!

So many great tips out on the internet, the one I found most helpful is not to prematurely rush recovery with the goal of getting back to normal as soon as possible. The other is to be very specific with your surgeon about your expectations and make sure they align. Especially if you get to chat again during preop. For instance instead of saying I just want my loose skin gone, it’s helpful to say I want to be as flat/tight/contoured as possible.
